Tribes 1 Legendz

I don't know who runs this server, but it has a map on it named Mudvania LT on it. The server did have 13 players on it, but when this map loaded, it dropped half the players. This map needs to be client side or removed all completely from the server.

www.troc.us or www.tribesone.com

Not sure Virus what you are relaying here. Is this the site that hosts the server? Or is this a link to download the map? If a link to download the map, that's not my point. My point, is half the server doesn't have the map, which tells me they do not know where to get it, and won't spend the time to look for it, and it needs to be removed from the server. When the server drops the players that don't have the map, they don't come back. With a server full of 13 or 14 people, that's saying a lot these days for a game as old as this is. That show's me they are trying to keep the game ALIVE, but when a map show's and it drops half the server, what is that telling the people who are trying to KEEP THE GAME ALIVE!

He's saying you should post about it there, because, the owner of that server, reads those forums.

It's an OC3 map, if anyone was wondering. I think the majority of 1.40 builds come with them.

Well, that may explain it then. I don't run 1.40 or 1.41. I still use 1.30, and with half the server dropping last night, that tells me they don't use 1.40 or 1.41 either. Which also tells me that if they are using an older version of the game, they ARE old school players and still playing to keep the game ALIVE! But when you get dropped from a server for not having a map it hosts, well, how would you take it with a game as old as this?

Personally? I'd download the new map, but I use 1.41 anyway, so I don't have that problem.

However, as a former server host, I completely agree that hosting anything newer than 1.8 (balanced and open call map pack came with 1.11) significantly reduces your player count. I went as far as to remove the balanced and open call maps, as well as any that used their terrains, and hosted using a 1.11 exe that pretended to be a 1.0 exe.

The result was a significant quantity of Brazilians, Turks, and HMers, populating my server. If you weren't getting pitchforked by a teammate, you were getting sniped the moment you stepped near a door, but at least the server was full.

I'm sorry I wasn't very helpful in my reply, Kilroy. I hope your issue is addressed, because your concern is valid and helpful towards the existence of the game. Thank you from all of us.

Thanks for assisting, Perr.

Whoa, wait Virus, you DID help out. You relayed a site in which the person(s) who host can be contacted to relay an issue, in which that person(s) can hopefully correct, so people do not get dropped from the server anymore. I am not registered for these forums, and not sure if I am going to register, but someone who is registered, will hopefully read this and post something on this issue, and hopefully the person hosting the server will be kind enough to help correct this issue so everyone can play on the server who wants to.

If only we knew someone with an account on both forums...
